Answer 1

Make sure you follow the steps mentioned below-

1. index.html is your root file.
2. You have changed your Github repo name at least one or two times,refresh the page & visit the page after a few minutes.

Answer 2

You GitHub Pages is working as expected. The only file in the repository is the README, so that is the only file built on Pages.

If you wanted to build a Pages site at myportifolio.github.io, you'd have to make a new GitHub account under the username myportifolio.

Answer 3

By default, github displays the "readme.md" file. And, your repo doesn't have anything to show in particular!

Try adding a dummy ".html" file and then open the website. If GitHub can't find anything to display it will display the "readme.md" file.

Answer 4

Just rename your html file to index.html (The file you want to run first). Then it will work
